6. Preparation for Operation
6.1. Using the test leads
CAUTION!
Note on using the supplied safety test leads according the IEC / EN
61010-031:2008:
Measurements in the field of overvoltage category CAT I or CAT II can
be performed with test leads without sleeves with a maximum of up to
18mm long, touchable metallic probe, whereas for measurements in the
field of overvoltage category CAT III or CAT IV test leads with put on
sleeves, printed with CAT III and CAT IV must be used, and therefore
the touchable and conductive part of the probes have only max. 4mm of
length.
Caution!
* The maximum rating of your meter is 600 V DC/AC. If you try to
measure voltages above 600 V DC/ACrms, you might damage your
meter and expose yourself to a serious shock hazard. Use extreme
care when you measure high voltages.
6.2. Using the stand
Use your meter’s stand to prop up the meter. If you prop your meter on a
bench-top, the stand helps provide a better viewing angle.
To use the stand as a prop, just open it away from the meter and set it
on a flat surface.
6.3. Deactivate AUTO-POWER-OFF function
The AUTO-POWER-OFF function is used to turn off the unit
automatically after approx. 30 minutes, so it saves from fast discharging
the battery. Sometimes it can make sense to turn off this function,
mostly in PC mode for measurement over a longer period of time. To
turn off this function do as follows:
1. Turn off the meter
2. Press and hold “SELECT” button
3. Turn on the meter
4. Release the “SELECT” button after 7 seconds
The Auto-Power-Off function is reactivated automatically after next
power on.
